Both are trade mark names. It is a cream meant to relieve painful joints but it is extremely expensive. Before I go out and buy it I would like to know a bit more about it. I am male, 72 years, in overall reasonable health.
Here's what their blurb says :
"FLEXISEQ™ is an aqueous gel packed with microscopic spheres called Sequessome™ vesicles. These spheres are made of molecules called phospholipids which naturally occur in the body and variants of which contribute to the lubricating properties of synovial fluid.
In addition, Sequessome™ vesicles are highly flexible and compressible which increases their lubricating ability."
And...
"After FLEXISEQ™ is applied to the skin, the water-based gel begins to dry which triggers the activity of the Sequessome™ vesicles contained within.
A Sequessome™ loves to be surrounded by water and as the water in its surrounding gel evaporates, it seeks out the next closest source of water – below the skin. The super-flexibility of the micro-spheres allows them to squeeze easily between skin cells and travel gently along the natural spaces found between them.
A layer of FLEXISEQ gel contains millions of Sequessome™ vesicles and this great volume of spheres entering the skin drives those already inside even deeper. Subsequently, Sequessome™ vesicles continue travelling to beyond the skin, through underlying tissues and into joints where they populate the watery environment of the synovial fluid."
Continues...
"The Sequessome™ vesicles contained within the joint capsule are attracted to the cartilage and accumulate on the damaged cartilage surfaces creating a “film” of lubricating phospholipids.
Through this action, Sequessome™ vesicles replenish the depleted layer of lubricants otherwise found on healthy cartilage, resulting in proven pain relief and reduction of joint stiffness. Longer term, further deterioration of the cartilage may be slowed."
It all sounds plausible
Hi Benny,
Thanks for your comments. I have that same blurb, Yes, it sounds plausible but they are salesmen. What I want to know is what is the active ingredient in flexiseq english, sequessome is their trade name for it.
It's £18.00 for a tube and I want to be reasonably sure that it is going to work for me.
Oh sorry (about repeating the blurb) There is no active ingredient
The stuff isn't a medicine
No man, don't apologize, you were trying to help. I didn't realize the distinction of it not being a medicine. It's just that the blurb makes it sound too good to be true. I mean, if it's that good, why hasn't my GP suggested it.?
Thanks for your help anyway.
Would I smear this nano-particle stuff onto my skin Absolutely not
Hello William, replying to your question about flexiseq.
As a female age 77 with severe arthritis in both hands, I had become desperate for some help. I am also a pianist for a choir and have really been struggling with playing the piano. I have had severe pain and swelling of the fingers on both hands for over 12 months and attend the arthritis clinic where I live. Nothing has helped until I saw an advert for Flexiseq, although it is not cheap, I believe that it is amazing. Within 3 weeks of using it morning and late evening, t my hands started to
The blurb is not too good to be true, it actually does exactly what it says as per a previous e mail I have just posted, which has not yet appeared on the forum. It simply is an amazing product. I no longer have any pain in my hands or fingers. Sylvia
Ref. Flexiseq. Unless myou have tried this medication, you can't make a judgement. Personally it has worked wonders for me.

Just started using this on my knee three days ago. The pain has gone and I can walk up the stairs rather than crawl!! It's totally amazing. Am going to try and get it from my GP but am not hopeful.
So pleased that you are getting some relief from your pain and hope it carries on. We can only recomend something if we try it and have results (good or bad). Maybe it won't help everyone but you have to try it for yourself. Doubt is the Doctor would prescriobe it because of ther cost, please let me know if you have any luck.

Thanks Sylvia. I will let you know, but I am doubtful unfortunately. I don't expect the drug companies can make enough money out of it to launch it on the market for NHS users.
Hi i am dr taha from egypt.i am 29 yrs and i have osteoarthritic pains in my knees, ankles,shoulders & hands but no limitation of movement.do any one believe that in that age one could have osteoarthritic pains that early and affecting all mentioned.the question is : Could flexiseq make a diference for me and save my joints from mass crippling?
I doubt if you have Osteoarthritus as that is usually caused by wear and tear and people get it when they are older. You may have rheumatoid arthritis, but you would need to be diagnosed properly by a doctor. Flexiseq works by lubricating the joint so I'm not sure whether it work for you or not. It could be worth a try but it would be very expensive to apply it to lots of joints. You only get a small tube and it goes very quickly.
hI ami having chemotheraphy is is ok to us this product ?
I'm glad it's worked wonders for you but as far as I'm comcerned the stuff is potentially harmful
Hi William and all other interested parties, the information as detailed in the reply from Benny Blanco is as acurate and descriptive as you are likely to get regarding the proerties of Flexiseq, I will not be able to enhance these details any further. I can however comment on my own circumstance as I regard myself as having sufficient eperience of this product to do so. I first stumbled accross Flexiseq through the internet approximately 9months to 1year ago, before it was on sale or available to the British market, the product was readily available and on sale in Germany and after watching the Pro Bono Bio marketing video, I decided through desparation to give it a go. Perhaps at this stage I should add that I am a 64year old male who appart from the Osteoarthritist in my knee, is in good health, not overweight for my frame and I regard myself as still being very active, given the active sport related lifesyle I have pursued throughout my life, from a very early age , it is little surprise to me that I am now suffering from this disablity. Since applying this product without fail once a day (not twice as recommended) every day without missing an application, I would say that the level of pain I was experiencing has declined considerably to the extent that I can now play golf at least once a week and with managed care sometimes twice a week. I'm under no illusion that it will cure the osteoarthritis but it has in my case most definetly allowed me to continue with my beloved sport, something I was comptemplating having to give up altogether. It is an added bonus for me that the product is now freely available at most high street chemists therefore I don't have to navigate a web site written in German, I also discovered that I could source the product from the Irish Republic although it was slightly more expensive. I also think anyone proposing to start using the product should mark the level of pain they are experiencing on a scale of 1 to 10 before commencing and closely monitor the chosen level over an initial period to see if the twice a day application as recommended by the manufacturers could be reduced to one a day, the cost of the product is the only criticism I would make, twice a day every day soon eats up a 50g tube. I hope my insight to the possible use of this product proves to be a benefit to someone out there, Keep on growing young!!.....Best Wishes.
i have arthritis most everywhere especially right wrist. One surgeon proposed karpandji suave AND a partial fusion. The next top guy I saw said "no don't". My partner says to just use this wonder cream.
So I'll try it. But Benny, what is this possible side effect you are concerned about?? It's a bit scary to just mention it without any further information.
Mike
Why is it harmful?? Please explain.
